Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

As he spoke, Wayne turned around, bent down, and picked up the array plate.

Wayne turned his head and glanced at the giant hand in the sky that was constantly attacking the array's energy shield.

"Old Ape King, I'm taking my leave first."

The words fell.

Wayne lightly tapped the void, and a flight array unfolded, enveloping himself, the old knight, and Aurora. He then floated up, intending to find an open space to teleport away.

Just then, a huge explosion rang out. Wayne looked up and saw that the Snow Ape Commander, who had been fighting, had actually self-destructed.

A huge mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and dust scattered everywhere, obscuring the surrounding light. Seeing this, Wayne had no choice but to stop flying and wait for the dust to clear.

.........

Ten minutes later.

Smoke and dust scattered, and the original valley turned into a giant crater. Without hesitation, Wayne flew directly towards the crater. Because of the explosion, there was no sign of life here, and the terrain was open, which was perfect for activating the formation.

They landed in the deep pit.

Wayne lightly tapped the void, and the teleportation array in his sea of ​​consciousness slowly lit up, eventually manifesting in reality.

"Young master, look!"

Wayne glanced at Aurora and saw that she was holding a purple-blue magical beast that looked like a kitten.

Wayne was stunned.

"Is that the Thunder Lion?"

"I think so?"

Aurora said somewhat uncertainly.

Where did you find it?

"And how come this thing doesn't have any injuries at all?"

"Could it be that Lei Shi's cub was born prematurely?"

Upon hearing this, the old knight couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Wayne, what did you say?"

"With such a huge explosion, if it were a premature baby, would it still be alive?"

"In my opinion, this should be the same Thunder Lion, but for some reason it has returned to its cub stage, or it has become smaller."

Wayne shook his head.

"Never mind, good things are delivered to our doorstep, can we really give them away?"

"Take it."

"We should go too."

As he spoke, the teleportation array beneath his feet lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky. The moment it was activated, Wayne also put away the array plate.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The Snow Ape King raised its palms and slammed them down. By the time the giant palms landed, Wayne and the other two had already teleported away.

Only a pair of huge palm prints and residual elemental energy remained in the original location.

Seeing this, the Snow Ape King looked around at his badly damaged tribe and the three who had escaped.

I couldn't help but roar to the sky!

The sounds of shame and annoyance echoed in all directions.

.........

Near the edge of the snow-capped mountain, three figures appeared out of thin air; they were Wayne and his two companions.

Wayne rubbed his temples.

"We forgot to leave a teleportation array on the outside. What's the point of randomly teleporting us like this?"

At this moment, the old knight, having finished his assessment, spoke:

"We're almost at the outer edge of the snow-capped mountain."

He then burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha, that's exciting!"

"Having lived for over 270 years, the excitement today rivals that of the past century—it's truly thrilling!"

He then looked at Wayne.

"This experience has truly stayed with me. I'll write it down and share it with others. Wayne, do you mind?"

Upon hearing this...

Wayne shook his head and chuckled, "You really are getting younger as you get older."

"Of course I don't mind."

He tossed out twenty high-grade magic crystals, not because he didn't want to give a top-grade magic crystal, but because he knew the old knight in front of him probably wouldn't accept it.

The old knight caught the magic crystal tossed to him, and after examining it, couldn't help but smile: "As expected of an adventurer from the capital, so generous!"

"Do you need directions?"

Wayne shook his head: "Let's find a place to rest for a while and get something to eat together, as a way of celebrating the fate that brought us together."

"Also, let's celebrate the successful completion of our first commission."

.........

Twenty minutes later.

A campfire was lit inside a man-made ice cave, and Wayne and his two companions sat around it.

Each person also had a small table in front of them, on which were the foods that Wayne and his group had brought when they set off from the capital.

At this moment, Wayne was observing the palm-sized Lei Shi.

"Is this thing still alive?"

"Is he/she going to kick the bucket?"

Just as Wayne was wondering, Lei Shi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wayne.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"How could someone as powerful as me, Lei Shi, possibly die?"

The words fell.

Aurora flipped herself up and stood up abruptly, a huge greatsword appearing in her hand, which she pointed at the Thunder Lion that Wayne was holding.

"You were awake a long time ago!"

Upon seeing this, Wayne's mind stirred, and a level seven array plate appeared in his hand. At this moment, the old knight finally reacted, shrank back, stood up, and looked at Lei Shi warily.

At this moment, Lei Shi's voice rang out again.

"Of course I woke up a long time ago. Otherwise, do you think a low-level magical beast like the Snow Ape clan could kill me?"

He then looked at Wayne.

"And you brat, isn't it incredibly impolite to carry me like this? Put me down right now!"

Wayne didn't put it down, but suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand and slapped Lei Shi across the face.

Snapped!

"what!"

"You brat, how dare you hit me, the king?"

Snapped!

"Ah, I will kill you!"

Snapped!

.........

Seeing Wayne like this, Aurora and the old knight were worried for Wayne.

At that moment, Wayne looked at the two of them.

"Don't worry, this little lion has no ability to resist. If it did, it would have broken free from my grasp long ago. There's no need for me to put it down."

Upon hearing this, Aurora and the old knight lowered their guard, put away their weapons, and slowly walked forward to sit down.

Wayne patted his leg and said, "Eat and drink without worry. I have a protective array here. If it dares to cause trouble, I've never had lion meat before, so I might as well give it a try!"

Awoo!

"You dare!"

Wayne slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

"You are a lamb to the slaughter, a fish out of water. What right do you have to speak?"

Awoo!

Hearing Lei Shi's sorrowful howl, the old knight couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha…"

"What are you laughing at? This kid and that girl are from the capital, aren't you?"

"Keep laughing. Wait till I recover, and I'll make trouble for you!"

The words fell.

The old knight's laughter was stuck in his throat, but Wayne raised his hand again and slapped him.

"Do you even have a chance to speak?"

He then looked at the old knight and said, "You can laugh if you want, but whether it will live long enough to recover is still a question."

Upon hearing this, the old knight burst into laughter and no longer cared about Lei Shi.

"Boy, you've gone too far!"

Wayne rolled his eyes. "Who do you think you are?"

"Don't you have any respect for your savior?"

"What are you saying!"

"When did you become the king's savior?"

Seeing this, Wayne picked up the knife on the table and brandished it at Lei Shi's neck.

"And now?"

"You're being too polite, I'll accept it!"

"You owe me two lives now. You better remember that. If you dare to deny it, I'll make you get sterilized!"

"what!"

"No, please! How cruel of you!"

At this moment, the old knight suddenly said, "Wayne, it planned this from the very beginning, didn't it?"

Wayne nodded.

"I just realized that it probably left itself in the crater on purpose, wanting us to take it away."

"However, based on my guess, it probably has a backup plan that comes at a high cost."

"How did you know, kid?"

Wayne rolled his eyes at Lei Shi: "Warcraft doesn't even trust its own kind, let alone humans?"

"Huh..."

"You're too clever for your own good, I've decided not to speak to you anymore!"
